Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Metro Mapper at 95% against Dott's 30%. Dott's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Metro Mapper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Dott asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dott holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dott has 9.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Dott's written reviews are positive against 95% of Metro Mapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dott ships an update every 6 days, Metro Mapper every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
